The rise of the prince

Chapter 724

A few days later, they had already left the territory of the Kingdom of Jin and continued northward.

The road was much more difficult. Starting from the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, there were no complete post stations. In the north, they often needed to eat and sleep in the open, and set up camp in the wild.

However, He Xu has long been used to this kind of life, and he is very familiar with the road, because he has no airs, and he is very happy to get along with the soldiers. It is not so difficult to walk all the way through the ice and snow.

The road will not change, the mentality is different, and the walking is also different.

When he met the first inn, He Xu knew that they had entered the territory of the Wang Gu tribe.

The Wanggu tribe is the southernmost tribe in the east of the grassland. It is next to the Kingdom of Jin. It is a vassal of the Kingdom of Jin. It is also a grassland tribe that admires the culture of the Central Plains the most. Many of their things are imitated from the Central Plains, even their clothing and language.

Therefore, the Wanggu Department is also a transit place for many Jingguo business travelers from the south to do business on the grassland.

Everyone rested in the inn for a night, but because there were too many of them, the small inn couldn't accommodate them, and some had to sleep in the stables, but it was better than the cold and snowy wilderness.

He Xu took this opportunity to chat with the few business travelers in the store to get some useful information.

That night, everyone huddled in the small attic, Du Tou, two deputy Du Tou, and several captains gathered around a brazier. The charcoal fire in the copper basin was blazing. He Xu squatted in the middle and whispered: "Just now I have already inquired, something big happened in the north."

"Big event?" Everyone was curious, and everyone came over.

He Xu nodded and said in a low voice, "There are a few Tatars from the north living in this store. They say that the north is at war and the Tatars are finished."

"Tatar Department?" Everyone was curious, most of them didn't understand the situation on the grassland.

"The Tatar tribe in the north, here is the Wanggu tribe. Going north along the road for three days is the territory of the Tatars. It used to be a dog on the grassland of the people of the Jin Kingdom, but they rebelled against the Kingdom of Jin, so the Kingdom of Jin united with Kret Department, begging Yan Department to attack.

Several Tatars came from the Tatar tribe. They said that Khan Temujin of the Qiyan tribe defeated the Tatars in the north. He originally ordered to kill all the Tatars, but he got two beauties from the Tatar tribe. People persuaded them to give up the massacre. "

"It's over by two women, hahaha." Everyone laughed.

He Xu nodded, and then said: "But this is only the first Tatar tribe, and the Tatars behind are not so lucky. Most Tatar women serve as slaves. Men who are taller than the wheels are killed. The rest become slaves too."

Everyone stopped laughing. Even if they were soldiers, they had been on the battlefield and killed people. They didn't like it. Massacres without resistance are different from fighting on the battlefield.

He Xu said: "Brothers, you must be prepared. The grassland is like this. Kindness and hatred are more important than anything else. Temujin's father died at the hands of the Tatars, and now most of the Tatars will be buried with him.

I often hear some cynical young masters criticizing benevolence, justice and morality in restaurants and teahouses, but no matter how much he scolds, in Jingguo, even if he meets someone he doesn’t know, has no previous contact, and has conflicts, he can still talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, saying To be fair, it works most of the time.

But there is no chance on the grassland. If you meet a stranger, you have to be very energetic. If he thinks you are weak and has no friendship, it is only natural to rob you. "

All heads nodded: "We all listen to Mr. He."

"Also, this trip to the north just happened to catch up with us. The Qiyan tribe, the Kelie tribe, and the people of Jin Kingdom all gathered in the grassland. The situation may be complicated, so we must be careful when doing things."

He Xu said seriously: "Fortunately, I didn't run in vain for so many years on the grassland. I know some people in the grassland. Maybe they can help."

On November [-]th, Sun He, the envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, returned.

Because it happened to catch up with the big ship of the palace, I came back many days early.

Li Xingzhou, as the Minister of Honglu Temple, and the matter was of great importance, he was looking forward to the result, so he went to meet him at the ferry in person, but Sun He's face was not good, and he just bowed his hands when he saw him, and didn't say a word at all.

Li Xingzhou was puzzled and frowned slightly. No one dared to show such an attitude to him for a long time.

The entourage behind him hurriedly came up to apologize: "My lord, calm down, my lord, my lord didn't mean to contradict the lord, it's just"

Li Xingzhou nodded, "Don't be nervous, just speak slowly."

The entourage breathed a sigh of relief, and while walking, he bowed and whispered to him about Sun He's arrival in the Kingdom of Jin.

"."

"My lord has been tolerant for the first time when he saw the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, and his words are humble. Even the dog emperor said that my envoy from Jingguo met him as an 'appearance', and the lord swallowed his anger. Weak. But the emperor of Jin Kingdom."

The entourage looked sad and angry: "He not only met in private, but after seeing the master showing weakness, he even held a large banquet and called civil and military officials. During the banquet, he deliberately made rude words and kept saying ugly things. It's the soft-boned master who endured it.

As a result, he fell ill after withdrawing the money, and he just started to get better a few days ago, and his heart was angry, so my lord, please don't blame the lord! "

Hearing his clear words and expressions, Li Xingzhou nodded and patted his shoulder to comfort him; "Don't worry, Mr. Sun is a hero."

The entourage was flattered and thanked again and again.

Sun He didn't give him a good face, Li Xingzhou was not angry, he just arranged for him to clean up the dust, and then held a banquet in Tingyulou to reward him.

Sun He finally said helplessly: "My lord, this old minister is not pretending to be unreasonable. It's just that the national festival is a big issue and should not be taken lightly! There are rumors outside that the lord is betraying the country and the enemy. There are some things that the old minister really doesn't understand because of his ignorance."

"Master Sun, it takes time to do things. If Master Sun dares to go to the Kingdom of Jin for the sake of the country and bear the burden of humiliation for this king, he must believe in this king. If this is the case, please wait and see. Give this king some time, and within two years there will be a It's over." Li Xingzhou said firmly.

Sun He stopped talking, and finally nodded: "The veteran has nothing else to do, but he can still speak diplomatically and travel around. Within two years, he will definitely do his best for the prince. I hope there will be a good result in the end."

Li Xingzhou nodded. There are not many people like Sun He, and he is a talent worth cherishing.

After Sun He came back, although Li Xingzhou felt sorry for the old man, he was more reassured when he ran to the north and was pissed off by Jin Guo at a young age.

Judging from the various performances of the gold master Wan Yanli, he was fooled. Compared with his father's generation of outstanding people, this new emperor of the Jin Kingdom is obviously much worse.

Around November [-], news came from the north that the Qiyan tribe had defeated the Tatars on the grassland west of the Great Xianbei Mountain. In order to avenge his father, Temujin killed most of the Tatars. All the men who passed the wheel were killed, and the remaining women and children were made slaves.

Only a small group of Tatars who were the first to surrender were treated well. The reason for this is that Temujin "incorporated" two beauties in this department.

There are not many rumors about this incident in the Central Plains. Firstly, it is too far away. Secondly, for the Central Plains, people who cross the Yin Mountain are barbarians, so they don't care.

However, Li Xingzhou tensed up. It was time to come. For the first time, the merchants accurately brought the name of Khan Borjijin. Temujin from the Begging Department.

Taking advantage of the gap between the Jin people and attacking the Tatar tribe was the real beginning of Temujin's domination of the grassland.

The battle has already begun, and if it is not expected, the next few years will be full of blood and rain in the north!
　I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I don’t know if anyone is still there. Something happened, and it’s been a long time. I don’t remember how many days. 233, the beginning of this year is really hard to say. I wish you all peace and happiness, and your family is happy. .
